Other ways to set up your fax
You can receive faxes to the all-in-one or to your computer. In general, incoming faxes to the all-in-
one are automatically answered. However, if you change the devices that are connected to the same
telephone line as the all-in-one, you must change how the all-in-one answers incoming faxes. See
Follow the procedures in this section to manage faxes that are routed to the all-in-one.
To receive faxes when you hear fax tones
If you have a telephone line that receives both fax and telephone calls, and you hear fax tones when
you answer the telephone, you can start the receiving process in one of two ways:
●
If you are close to the all-in-one, press
Start Fax
on the control panel.
●
When you answer any telephone connected to the line (an extension telephone) and hear fax
tones, the all-in-one should begin answering the call automatically. If not, press 1-2-3 in
sequence on the telephone keypad (in tone-dialing mode only), listen for fax transmission
sounds, and then hang up.
NOTE
In order for the second method to work, the extension telephone setting must be set
to YES. See
Making an extension telephone available to receive faxes
setting.
Setting the answer mode
Depending on your situation, you can set the all-in-one answer mode to Automatic or Manual. The
factory-set default is Automatic.
●
Automatic: In this answer mode, the all-in-one answers incoming calls after a specified number
of rings or upon recognition of special fax tones. To specify the number of rings, see
.
●
Manual: In this answer mode, the all-in-one never answers calls. You must start the fax-
receiving process yourself, either by pressing
Start Fax
on the control panel or by picking up a
telephone that is connected to that line and dialing 1-2-3 (in tone-dial mode only).
NOTE
Although most users leave the answer mode set to Automatic, voice callers who dial
the fax telephone number will hear fax tones if the telephone is not answered, or if they do not
hang up by the specified number of rings-to-answer. If you do not want voice callers to hear
fax tones, use the Manual setting. But remember that fax calls are not received automatically
when the mode is set to Manual.

1.
